What’s that rustling in the dark forest? The game veterans, of course, who leaf through old magazines again. In our leap into the past, we explore with star guest Sebastian Gerstl the first edition of CHIP Power Play, which appeared 10 years ago. For the bonus segment for Patreon supporters, we linger a little longer in 2012, discovering alien invaders and sneaking avengers. Then it’s back even further: 2002 caused a stir with Anno and Cate Archer, 1992 deals with role-playing heavyweights and a historical spin-off of the Battle Isle series. The news and game reports at the beginning of the show are fresh, rounded off with a look into the listener’s mailbox.
